Any ideas?

Think it will be officially announced today. Big hire for the SKWC!

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

Since it was announced......New Head Coach of the SKWC is Jeff Buxton!

Saw him sitting w Leo at the last dual. This is HUGE.

 

[RU Diesel07110]

Wow maybe we can start picking up kids that go to his club. I think the whole delbarton team goes

does this help us with mullen?

 

[CampKnight]

Great hire, should help out with recruiting big time. Hopefully the personalities on the coaching staff mesh well with Buxton.

That’s an absolutely incredible hire.

 

[CollegeFBfan1]

Wow. Pulled him away from Lehigh?

 

[Scarlet Craig]

Am I reading his bio right? He won the national title every year he coached at Blair?!?

Pretty close.. my hs wrestled against his Blair team in the 90s. They were incredibly loaded.

That's awesome. Must have been a bump in pay, though not sure how much a wrestling coach makes at Lehigh versus what we can afford at SKWC. This is what big programs do, and we're making some good moves.

 

[Clearscreen5]

Not sure if this was in the works for months, but I think he left Lehigh in August.

I remember being at the Prep States in the early 2000's and watching Blair Compete. A friend from the BTS Board was with me and he turned to me and said "they look like a Division 1 wrestling program" and I responded "they could compete with any Division 1 wrestling program". He laughed and agreed.

It was amazing

Does this create a Blair pipeline?

Ross Gitomer is the wrestling teams head coach and was Jackson Turley's high school coach.

Does this create a Blair pipeline?

Some think a Blair and Delbarton pipeline as a lot of the kids belong to his club.

With the Rutgers team and SKWC in the same room, what involvement might Buxton have with team practice and training?
